Assessing shell morphology in freshwater mussels (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Unionidae) from the Maâden River, Tunisia: Insights from geometric morphometrics and shape descriptors

Identifying freshwater mussel species within the Unionidae family can be challenging due to systematic confusion. This study investigates shell shapes to identify four sympatric species of freshwater mussels (Potamida littoralis, Unio durieui, U. gibbus, and U. ravoisieri) in the Maâden river (north...
